Trouble in Paradise
By: InuLover
Author Notes: Konnichiwa everyone! Hope your day went good! Mine did. I have a question for the readers. Do you want Ittou and Inuyasha to fight again? I have plans for Ittou and Rei in the future so I cant kill him off and I certainly can't kill off Inuyasha. In the future, Ittou will eventually become friends with the gang. So I don't think I will have them fight again. Now Kouga on the other hand, hehehehehehehehe! Sorry for you Kouga lovers out there, I kinda made him a psycho in this story. Don't get me wrong, I love Kouga! But he just got kinda twisted around in this story. Anyways, hope you enjoy!
Kouga- how dare you call me a psycho! I'll make Ittou kill you for that!
InuLover- sorry, I am the author so I can do whatever I want to. I can kill you and Ittou so don't for get that.
Kouga- mumbles about psycho authors
Ittou- Kouga, why don't you fight your own battles for once?
Kouga- I dunno. I'm lazy ^.^
All- O_O
Rei- you got that right. I think your weak and that's why you won't fight!
Kouga- Hey! You're supposed to be my sister! Be nice!
Rei- no. I bet I could beat you up!
Ittou- save that for another day and get on with the story!
InuLover- you said it!
Chapter 8: Narakus plans.
Kouga dashed upstairs. Everyone stared at each other for a while. Everyone raced up the stairs after Kouga except for Sango. She kind of wobbled up the stairs.
Kouga checked all the rooms and then came upon the guest bedroom that Inuyasha and Kagome occupied.
Sango, Miroku, and Rei followed behind him and peered in the bedroom.
Inuyasha had somehow scooted himself closer to Kagome and had his arms wrapped around her waist protectively.
Kagome was a light sleeper and woke up when they entered the room.
"Kagome! Get away from that bastard! I'm going to kill him!"
This time, Rei stepped in. She stood in front of the bed that Kagome and Inuyasha were on.
"Kouga, as your sister, I am forbidding you to lay another hand on Kagome or Inuyasha. If you do, I will personally kill you"
Kouga looked stunned that his own sister would say that.
"You would choose them over me? I am your own flesh and blood!"
"Maybe so, but when it comes to friends, I will protect them. What you have done is wrong and you know it is."
Kouga shook his head.
"Rei, Rei, Rei. When will you ever learn that what I am doing is best for everyone."
"What your doing? What your doing is tearing apart lovers and ruining lives. Kagome doesn't want to be with you, she wants to be happy and be with Inuyasha. When can you open your eyes and see that?"
"No. It's not true. I will kill him and then she will be with me. She doesn't need him."
"And how do you know that? Kouga, all these years of living with you I know for a fact that you have changed. And it's for the worst. You're hurting everyone around you, including me. You don't want to hurt your own flesh and blood would you?"
"Iie. I would never hurt you."
"Well if you try and hurt Kagome, Inuyasha, or any other of my friends, I will protect them. You'll have to go through me to get to them."
(InuLover- sorry for that long family argument thingy. Had to get it over with!)
Sango and Miroku just stood there, watching the family feud. Kagome was touched about what Rei said. 'I am lucky to have such good friends'
Inuyasha stirred and sat up, painfully. "What's going on? Why are you all in here?"
"I'm here to kill you, Inuyasha."
"Why don't you just get Ittou to do it for you, coward."
"No. This time it's just you and me."
"Kouga stop." Rei interjected. "I told you not to mess with Inuyasha. You will fight me before you fight him"
"Stay out of this Rei. It is of none of your concern"
"If it has to do with my friends, its my business. Don't touch him LITTLE bro."
"I will do as I please. I am no longer 5 years old"
Rei slapped him, hard. "GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SCULL THAT YOU WILL NOT BE FIGHTING ANYONE!"
"How dare you slap me you stupid bitch!"
Rei slapped him again. "DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME THAT AGAIN!"
Ittou was the next to speak. "Kouga. Just leave Inuyasha alone. It is cowardly to hurt someone when they are unable to fight. Be a man for once."
"I will not listen to you or my stupid bitchy sister."
Ittou had to hold Rei back from striking Kouga again. Amazingly, she got away from Ittou and punched Kouga right in the stomach. Kouga fell to the floor gripping his stomach.
"Don't you ever talk to me like that again. If you do, so help me god, I will kill you."
Rei kicked him once more before exiting the room.
"That chick has some anger problems"
"I agree Ittou. I don't think I will be pissing Rei off anytime soon"
Inuyasha just stood there stunned. "I have a question"
"What Inuyasha?"
"Who's she?"
Everyone fell over anime style.
Miroku explained to Inuyasha that Rei helped Kagome and everyone else, and is the sister to Kouga.
Kagome got up from her spot on the bed and stretched. "I am still tired. What time is it?"
"Its about 2:00 in the morning. Why don't you all sleep here tonight? It is too late to drive home. I promise to keep Kouga locked up in his bedroom. The next spare bedroom and next to this one, Miroku and Sango."
Ittou picked up Kouga and carried him off to his bedroom. Sango and Miroku said goodnight to Kagome and Inuyasha and headed off to their bedroom giggling the whole way there.
Kagome sat back down on the bed next to Inuyasha. Inuyasha sat up but from the look on his face, he was in pain.
"Inuyasha lay back down. Your hurt still." Kagome lightly pushed Inuyasha down.
"I will lay back down as long as you're near me"
"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else"
Everyone went to sleep except for two late owls.
~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*!*~*~!*~*~!*~!
Rei was pouring herself a cup of hot tea when Ittou walked in. 'Kami, she looks sexy. Why do I keep thinking that?!'
Rei was dressed in an oversized t-shirt that went to her knees.
"Your up late"
"I always stay up late. I don't sleep very well"
"Oh." Rei looked into her cup of tea.
"Do you want some tea?"
"Sure"
Rei poured Ittou a cup of tea. 'Should I tell him? What am I saying, he said before, he could never love me. But still.'
Rei looked at Ittou. He was getting sugar out of the cabinet.
"Do want sugar in your tea as well?"
"No thanks"
Conversation was just a little too weird for Rei.
"Ittou, can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead"
"When you said you could never love me, were you speaking the truth?"
'Was I? No. I love Rei. I can't bring myself to tell her though. I have never had these emotions before.'
"The truth is Rei, I don't know what I want. Part of me is telling me to love you and another part is telling me that love is for weaklings."
Rei sighed. That answer was better than a 'No I don't love you and never will'.
Rei walked over to Ittou and whispered in his ear, "Listen to your instincts. What do they say?"
"They say that I could never love. I am going to bed."
Rei's face fell. 'So close yet so far.'
"Well I think I will go to bed also."
Rei and Ittou headed upstairs and went the other direction, away from Inuyasha and Mirokus bedrooms.
"I forgot. There are only 3 guest bedrooms."
Ittou sighed. "I will sleep on the floor then. They entered a room decorated in purple. Rei grabbed a towel and headed into the bathroom to take a shower.
Ittou made a bed on the floor and laid down thinking about Rei. 'Even if I did love her, I could never tell her. I will never expose my true feelings.' Ittou turned over to his side.
Rei walked through the bathroom door, dressed in the same oversized shirt except her hair was wet. She sighed and laid down on the bed and covered herself in blankets.
'How long can I keep this from her? How long can I keep hurting her?'
"Goodnight, Ittou."
"Yeah"
Ittou covered himself with blankets and rolled over on his stomach. His mind wouldn't leave Rei alone. 'I cant keep this secret away from her for very long. But I can't expose myself to love, it will weaken me. But this body urns to be loved by a woman. I am so confused.'
(IC= Ittous conscious)
IC- I can help you with your feelings
Ittou- who the hell are you?
IC- your conscious baka.
Ittou- o
IC- You love Rei. Just tell her, otherwise it will be too late. Rei is a beautiful woman, I am sure there are other guys out there that would love to be with her.
Ittou- you're right.
IC- I know I am.
Ittou stood up and looked over at Rei, who had her back turned to him. 'Great. She's probably asleep. What should I do know?'
IC- wake her up. Now's your chance!
Ittou sat on the bed next to Rei, causing her to wake up.
"Ittou what's the matter?" Rei sat up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
"I have something to confess. I love you Rei. I always have since I first met you. I just couldn't bring myself to such a weakness. I want to be with you Rei."
'AM I DREAMING?! Did Ittou just confess his love for me?'
Rei just sat there for a minute, stunned. "Ittou. I have been wanting you to say those words to me ever since I saw you."
Rei laid back down and faced Ittou who also laid back down. Rei leaned into Ittou and kissed him lightly on the lips. He kissed her back with more force, making the kiss more passionate. Ittou broke the kiss when he needed to breath. Rei was panting slightly from the intense kiss.
Ittou wrapped his arms around Rei's waist, pulling her closer to him. Rei kissed Ittou lightly on the lips again and said good night.
Rei fell fast asleep after that. Ittou slept right beside her, not letting her go.
~!*~*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~*~!*~!*~!*~!*~*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*
Kagome stretched as she woke up. She looked at the clock on the nightstand next to her bed. It read 10:15.
Kagome groaned and fell back down on the bed. She unintentionally woke up Inuyasha. He was still in pain from the battle yesterday.
"Kagome? Don't you and Sango have work today?"
" YOUR RIGHT! I HAVE TO GO GET SANGO UP!" Kagome quickly hurried out of bed, leaving Inuyasha there by himself. Kagome made it down the hall and opened Miroku and Sango's bedroom door.
"Aww. So kawaii!"
Sango was up and but was unable to move much because Miroku was half way on top of her.
Sango covered her head with one pillow and threw another one at Kagome, hitting her right in the head. Kagome laughed. Then she remembered why she was there.
"Sango! You have to get up now! We have work in about 45 minutes!"
"O no! Miroku get off me!" Sango tried to push Miroku off of her but he was sound asleep. So she whacked him with a pillow.
"Wha- WHAT?"
Miroku was a little grumpy in the morning. "GET OFF ME YOU BAKA!"
"O. Sorry."
Miroku got off of Sango and told Kagome good morning.
Kagome gasped as Inuyasha wrapped his arms around Kagomes waist. "You scared me! I thought you were Kouga."
"I hope I'm not him"
"Inuyasha, you shouldn't be moving! Your still hurt."
"What are you talking about? I am fine! Do you need a ride to work?"
"I will drive them Inuyasha, there is no need for you to drive in your condition."
Inuyasha agreed and waited for Sango and Kagome to get ready. As they were waiting, they wanted to say goodbye to Ittou and Rei before they left.
They came upon Rei's room and opened the door slightly. The sight they saw was weird and scary.
"I thought he said he would never love?" Inuyasha whispered with a freaked out look on his face.
Miroku nodded.
Ittou was lying next to Rei with his arms wrapped around her. Rei slightly draped her arms around Ittou.
"I don't even want to know. Lets just leave a note and our phone number."
"Hai."
Miroku and Inuyasha quickly left the couple and went to see in Kagome and Sango were ready to go. Sango just got down getting dressed and Kagome was getting her shoes on.
It was 10:50. "Hurry up! You're going to be late!"
Kagome and Sango hurried to the car. Just before they all left, Kagome looked at Kougas mansion and saw someone in the window of the downstairs. It was Kouga. He looked depressed and waved goodbye to his love.
Kagome just turned the other way. She wanted to forget all of what happened. She wanted to be happy with her mate and friends.
~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~*!*~!*~!*
After kissing their mates goodbye, Kagome and Sango rushed into the restaurant at 11:05.
"Gomen nasia for being so late Kikyou." Kagome bowed to Kikyou and Sango did the same.
"Just where have you two been? I expect you both to be here before 11:00! You better have a good reason Kagome."
"Gomen. We were all at a "friends" house and overslept. I know this isn't a good explanation but we will make up for it! I promise!"
"You bet you will! Sango, go scrub the toilets in the girls bathroom. Kagome, wash all the dishes for today. I will be the waitress today. Have fun!" Kikyou gave a fake cherry smile to the two women and set off to help customers.
"Thanks a lot Kagome! "We'll make up for this" MY ASS! You don't have to scrub toilets all day!" Sango mocked.
"Gomen! Ok! Geeze lay off!"
Sango walked towards the bathroom mumbling about making Kagome scrub the toilets at home.
Kagome went to the kitchen when she was greeted by Shippo.
"Kagome! How are you doing? I haven't seen you since you left for the hospital!"
"I'm fine Shippo. Expect for the fact that I have do wash dishes all day."
"You mean I don't have to? YAY!!!" Shippo did a little dance and sung about not washing dishes.
"Uhh Shippo?O_O;; Are you ok?"
"Yeah! For one: I had tons of sugar in my tea this morning for two: I DON'T HAVE TO DO DISHES!! YAY!!"
Kagome slowly escaped from the kitchen to get away from the sugar crazed Shippo.
"That was.weird."
The whole day seemed to go on forever. Sango scrubbed toilets, Kagome did dishes, and Shippo cooked the food after he got done dancing and singing about not doing dishes.
~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*
"Miroku? Can you drop me off at work? I have a little explaining to do to my boss."
"Sure thing, buddy."
Miroku dropped off Inuyasha and headed for his own work. Better late than never, he thought.
Inuyasha stepped in the building and made his way to the elevator. Before he could reach the elevator, he was met by Naraku.
"What the hell do you want?"
"That's not a very nice thing to say to your coworker!" Naraku grinned evilly.
"As far as I care, you can drop dead. Now get out of my way!"
Inuyasha pushed Naraku out of his path and went to the elevator. Naraku caught up to him and followed him to the elevator.
"Going to Sesshomaru's office?"
"That's none of your business."
"Pushy, Pushy. What's up your ass?"
"You." Inuyasha stated. "Get the hell away from me before I kill you."
"I'd like to see you try." Naraku shoved Inuyasha into the elevator just as the doors opened. Inuyasha was still hurt from his fight with Ittou so it knocked him down to the floor.
"Geeze I didn't think you were that weak! You fall to the ground like lead!"
"Shut up, I've had a rough night." Inuyasha stood up and brushed himself off. He leaned against the railing, forgetting about his injuries. He winced as his back touched the railing.
'I could use his injuries to my advantage.' Naraku thought as he reached the top floor with Inuyasha. Naraku grinned and begun to formulate a plot against Inuyasha.
Inuyasha and Naraku reached Sesshomarus office. Inuyasha was the first one to open the door and go inside.
"Ah, Inuyasha. Nice to see you!"
"Uh. Thanks. I have something to talk to you about. ALONE" Inuyasha glared at Naraku.
"ok, ok Ill leave! Geeze."
After Naraku left, Inuyasha took a seat.
"I almost forgot, give these to Kagome as a 'welcome home from the hostpital' gift"
Sesshomaru handed Inuyasha a box decorated in gift wrap.
"It is clothes for your new baby, when she has it."
"Arigato Mr. Sesshomaru."
Inuyasha set the package down beside him and began to speak to Sesshomaru.
"My wife is doing better now but suffers a severe heart condition. She will be fine though and so will the baby. Gomen for leaving so sudden on that day. I was wondering if I could have vacation time close to the end of the month of Kagomes pregnancy?"
"Of course. How many weeks?"
"Just two. Arigato again Sesshomaru." As Inuyahsa stood up to bow to Sesshomaru, his back started hurting again. He fell back into the chair.
"Inuyasha is there something wrong?"
"Its nothing. I just hurt my back that's all."
"Why don't you just take the day off. I have extra employees here anyways."
"Arigato."
(InuLover- sorry if I made Sesshomaru to OOC but its my fic! I will do whatever the hell I wanna! Tee hee!)
Inuyasha walked out of Sesshs office to , once again, be greeted by Naraku.
"What did you need to talk to the boss about?"
"None of you damn business"
"Touchy, Touchy."
Naraku watched Inuyasha leave to go to the elevator.
'Nows my chance to get him back for all those times in high school.'
~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!~!~*!*~!*~!*~!*~!
Cliffy! What does Naraku have up his sleeve? You'll have to wait and find out! Thanks to all my wonderful reviewers, you make my day!^.^

Author Notes: Konnichiwa everyone! Hope your day went good! Mine did. I have a question for the readers. Do you want Ittou and Inuyasha to fight again? I have plans for Ittou and Rei in the future so I cant kill him off and I certainly can't kill off Inuyasha. In the future, Ittou will eventually become friends with the gang. So I don't think I will have them fight again. Now Kouga on the other hand, hehehehehehehehe! Sorry for you Kouga lovers out there, I kinda made him a psycho in this story. Don't get me wrong, I love Kouga! But he just got kinda twisted around in this story. Anyways, hope you enjoy!
Kouga- how dare you call me a psycho! I'll make Ittou kill you for that!
InuLover- sorry, I am the author so I can do whatever I want to. I can kill you and Ittou so don't for get that.
Kouga- mumbles about psycho authors
Ittou- Kouga, why don't you fight your own battles for once?
Kouga- I dunno. I'm lazy ^.^
All- O_O
Rei- you got that right. I think your weak and that's why you won't fight!
Kouga- Hey! You're supposed to be my sister! Be nice!
Rei- no. I bet I could beat you up!
Ittou- save that for another day and get on with the story!
InuLover- you said it!
Chapter 8: Narakus plans.
Kouga dashed upstairs. Everyone stared at each other for a while. Everyone raced up the stairs after Kouga except for Sango. She kind of wobbled up the stairs.
Kouga checked all the rooms and then came upon the guest bedroom that Inuyasha and Kagome occupied.
Sango, Miroku, and Rei followed behind him and peered in the bedroom.

"No. It's not true. I will kill him and then she will be with me. She doesn't need him."
"And how do you know that? Kouga, all these years of living with you I know for a fact that you have changed. And it's for the worst. You're hurting everyone around you, including me. You don't want to hurt your own flesh and blood would you?"
"Iie. I would never hurt you."
"Well if you try and hurt Kagome, Inuyasha, or any other of my friends, I will protect them. You'll have to go through me to get to them."
(InuLover- sorry for that long family argument thingy. Had to get it over with!)
Sango and Miroku just stood there, watching the family feud. Kagome was touched about what Rei said. 'I am lucky to have such good friends'
Inuyasha stirred and sat up, painfully. "What's going on? Why are you all in here?"
"I'm here to kill you, Inuyasha."
"Why don't you just get Ittou to do it for you, coward."
"No. This time it's just you and me."
"Kouga stop." Rei interjected. "I told you not to mess with Inuyasha. You will fight me before you fight him"
"Stay out of this Rei. It is of none of your concern"
"If it has to do with my friends, its my business. Don't touch him LITTLE bro."
"I will do as I please. I am no longer 5 years old"
Rei slapped him, hard. "GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SCULL THAT YOU WILL NOT BE FIGHTING ANYONE!"
"How dare you slap me you stupid bitch!"
Rei slapped him again. "DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME THAT AGAIN!"
Ittou was the next to speak. "Kouga. Just leave Inuyasha alone. It is cowardly to hurt someone when they are unable to fight. Be a man for once."
"I will not listen to you or my stupid bitchy sister."
Ittou had to hold Rei back from striking Kouga again. Amazingly, she got away from Ittou and punched Kouga right in the stomach. Kouga fell to the floor gripping his stomach.
"Don't you ever talk to me like that again. If you do, so help me god, I will kill you."
Rei kicked him once more before exiting the room.
"That chick has some anger problems"
"I agree Ittou. I don't think I will be pissing Rei off anytime soon"
Inuyasha just stood there stunned. "I have a question"
"What Inuyasha?"
"Who's she?"
Everyone fell over anime style.
Miroku explained to Inuyasha that Rei helped Kagome and everyone else, and is the sister to Kouga.
Kagome got up from her spot on the bed and stretched. "I am still tired. What time is it?"
"Its about 2:00 in the morning. Why don't you all sleep here tonight? It is too late to drive home. I promise to keep Kouga locked up in his bedroom. The next spare bedroom and next to this one, Miroku and Sango."
Ittou picked up Kouga and carried him off to his bedroom. Sango and Miroku said goodnight to Kagome and Inuyasha and headed off to their bedroom giggling the whole way there.
Kagome sat back down on the bed next to Inuyasha. Inuyasha sat up but from the look on his face, he was in pain.
"Inuyasha lay back down. Your hurt still." Kagome lightly pushed Inuyasha down.
"I will lay back down as long as you're near me"
"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else"
Everyone went to sleep except for two late owls.
~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*!*~*~!*~*~!*~!
Rei was pouring herself a cup of hot tea when Ittou walked in. 'Kami, she looks sexy. Why do I keep thinking that?!'
Rei was dressed in an oversized t-shirt that went to her knees.
"Your up late"
"I always stay up late. I don't sleep very well"
"Oh." Rei looked into her cup of tea.
"Do you want some tea?"
"Sure"
Rei poured Ittou a cup of tea. 'Should I tell him? What am I saying, he said before, he could never love me. But still.'
Rei looked at Ittou. He was getting sugar out of the cabinet.
"Do want sugar in your tea as well?"
"No thanks"
Conversation was just a little too weird for Rei.
"Ittou, can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead"
"When you said you could never love me, were you speaking the truth?"
'Was I? No. I love Rei. I can't bring myself to tell her though. I have never had these emotions before.'
"The truth is Rei, I don't know what I want. Part of me is telling me to love you and another part is telling me that love is for weaklings."
Rei sighed. That answer was better than a 'No I don't love you and never will'.
Rei walked over to Ittou and whispered in his ear, "Listen to your instincts. What do they say?"
"They say that I could never love. I am going to bed."
Rei's face fell. 'So close yet so far.'
"Well I think I will go to bed also."
Rei and Ittou headed upstairs and went the other direction, away from Inuyasha and Mirokus bedrooms.
"I forgot. There are only 3 guest bedrooms."
Ittou sighed. "I will sleep on the floor then. They entered a room decorated in purple. Rei grabbed a towel and headed into the bathroom to take a shower.

'How long can I keep this from her? How long can I keep hurting her?'
"Goodnight, Ittou."
"Yeah"
Ittou covered himself with blankets and rolled over on his stomach. His mind wouldn't leave Rei alone. 'I cant keep this secret away from her for very long. But I can't expose myself to love, it will weaken me. But this body urns to be loved by a woman. I am so confused.'
(IC= Ittous conscious)
IC- I can help you with your feelings
Ittou- who the hell are you?
IC- your conscious baka.
Ittou- o
IC- You love Rei. Just tell her, otherwise it will be too late. Rei is a beautiful woman, I am sure there are other guys out there that would love to be with her.
Ittou- you're right.
IC- I know I am.
Ittou stood up and looked over at Rei, who had her back turned to him. 'Great. She's probably asleep. What should I do know?'
IC- wake her up. Now's your chance!
Ittou sat on the bed next to Rei, causing her to wake up.
"Ittou what's the matter?" Rei sat up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
"I have something to confess. I love you Rei. I always have since I first met you. I just couldn't bring myself to such a weakness. I want to be with you Rei."
'AM I DREAMING?! Did Ittou just confess his love for me?'
Rei just sat there for a minute, stunned. "Ittou. I have been wanting you to say those words to me ever since I saw you."
Rei laid back down and faced Ittou who also laid back down. Rei leaned into Ittou and kissed him lightly on the lips. He kissed her back with more force, making the kiss more passionate. Ittou broke the kiss when he needed to breath. Rei was panting slightly from the intense kiss.
Ittou wrapped his arms around Rei's waist, pulling her closer to him. Rei kissed Ittou lightly on the lips again and said good night.
Rei fell fast asleep after that. Ittou slept right beside her, not letting her go.

Kagome stretched as she woke up. She looked at the clock on the nightstand next to her bed. It read 10:15.
Kagome groaned and fell back down on the bed. She unintentionally woke up Inuyasha. He was still in pain from the battle yesterday.
"Kagome? Don't you and Sango have work today?"
" YOUR RIGHT! I HAVE TO GO GET SANGO UP!" Kagome quickly hurried out of bed, leaving Inuyasha there by himself. Kagome made it down the hall and opened Miroku and Sango's bedroom door.
"Aww. So kawaii!"
Sango was up and but was unable to move much because Miroku was half way on top of her.
Sango covered her head with one pillow and threw another one at Kagome, hitting her right in the head. Kagome laughed. Then she remembered why she was there.
"Sango! You have to get up now! We have work in about 45 minutes!"
"O no! Miroku get off me!" Sango tried to push Miroku off of her but he was sound asleep. So she whacked him with a pillow.
"Wha- WHAT?"
Miroku was a little grumpy in the morning. "GET OFF ME YOU BAKA!"
"O. Sorry."
Miroku got off of Sango and told Kagome good morning.
Kagome gasped as Inuyasha wrapped his arms around Kagomes waist. "You scared me! I thought you were Kouga."
"I hope I'm not him"
"Inuyasha, you shouldn't be moving! Your still hurt."
"What are you talking about? I am fine! Do you need a ride to work?"
"I will drive them Inuyasha, there is no need for you to drive in your condition."
Inuyasha agreed and waited for Sango and Kagome to get ready. As they were waiting, they wanted to say goodbye to Ittou and Rei before they left.
They came upon Rei's room and opened the door slightly. The sight they saw was weird and scary.
"I thought he said he would never love?" Inuyasha whispered with a freaked out look on his face.
Miroku nodded.
Ittou was lying next to Rei with his arms wrapped around her. Rei slightly draped her arms around Ittou.
"I don't even want to know. Lets just leave a note and our phone number."
"Hai."
Miroku and Inuyasha quickly left the couple and went to see in Kagome and Sango were ready to go. Sango just got down getting dressed and Kagome was getting her shoes on.
It was 10:50. "Hurry up! You're going to be late!"
Kagome and Sango hurried to the car. Just before they all left, Kagome looked at Kougas mansion and saw someone in the window of the downstairs. It was Kouga. He looked depressed and waved goodbye to his love.
Kagome just turned the other way. She wanted to forget all of what happened. She wanted to be happy with her mate and friends.

After kissing their mates goodbye, Kagome and Sango rushed into the restaurant at 11:05.
"Gomen nasia for being so late Kikyou." Kagome bowed to Kikyou and Sango did the same.
"Just where have you two been? I expect you both to be here before 11:00! You better have a good reason Kagome."
"Gomen. We were all at a "friends" house and overslept. I know this isn't a good explanation but we will make up for it! I promise!"
"You bet you will! Sango, go scrub the toilets in the girls bathroom. Kagome, wash all the dishes for today. I will be the waitress today. Have fun!" Kikyou gave a fake cherry smile to the two women and set off to help customers.
"Thanks a lot Kagome! "We'll make up for this" MY ASS! You don't have to scrub toilets all day!" Sango mocked.
"Gomen! Ok! Geeze lay off!"
Sango walked towards the bathroom mumbling about making Kagome scrub the toilets at home.
Kagome went to the kitchen when she was greeted by Shippo.
"Kagome! How are you doing? I haven't seen you since you left for the hospital!"
"I'm fine Shippo. Expect for the fact that I have do wash dishes all day."
"You mean I don't have to? YAY!!!" Shippo did a little dance and sung about not washing dishes.
"Uhh Shippo?O_O;; Are you ok?"
"Yeah! For one: I had tons of sugar in my tea this morning for two: I DON'T HAVE TO DO DISHES!! YAY!!"
Kagome slowly escaped from the kitchen to get away from the sugar crazed Shippo.
"That was.weird."
The whole day seemed to go on forever. Sango scrubbed toilets, Kagome did dishes, and Shippo cooked the food after he got done dancing and singing about not doing dishes.

"Miroku? Can you drop me off at work? I have a little explaining to do to my boss."
"Sure thing, buddy."
Miroku dropped off Inuyasha and headed for his own work. Better late than never, he thought.
Inuyasha stepped in the building and made his way to the elevator. Before he could reach the elevator, he was met by Naraku.
"What the hell do you want?"
"That's not a very nice thing to say to your coworker!" Naraku grinned evilly.
"As far as I care, you can drop dead. Now get out of my way!"
Inuyasha pushed Naraku out of his path and went to the elevator. Naraku caught up to him and followed him to the elevator.
"Going to Sesshomaru's office?"
"That's none of your business."
"Pushy, Pushy. What's up your ass?"
"You." Inuyasha stated. "Get the hell away from me before I kill you."
"I'd like to see you try." Naraku shoved Inuyasha into the elevator just as the doors opened. Inuyasha was still hurt from his fight with Ittou so it knocked him down to the floor.
"Geeze I didn't think you were that weak! You fall to the ground like lead!"
"Shut up, I've had a rough night." Inuyasha stood up and brushed himself off. He leaned against the railing, forgetting about his injuries. He winced as his back touched the railing.
'I could use his injuries to my advantage.' Naraku thought as he reached the top floor with Inuyasha. Naraku grinned and begun to formulate a plot against Inuyasha.
Inuyasha and Naraku reached Sesshomarus office. Inuyasha was the first one to open the door and go inside.
"Ah, Inuyasha. Nice to see you!"
"Uh. Thanks. I have something to talk to you about. ALONE" Inuyasha glared at Naraku.
"ok, ok Ill leave! Geeze."
After Naraku left, Inuyasha took a seat.
"I almost forgot, give these to Kagome as a 'welcome home from the hostpital' gift"
Sesshomaru handed Inuyasha a box decorated in gift wrap.
"It is clothes for your new baby, when she has it."
"Arigato Mr. Sesshomaru."
Inuyasha set the package down beside him and began to speak to Sesshomaru.
"My wife is doing better now but suffers a severe heart condition. She will be fine though and so will the baby. Gomen for leaving so sudden on that day. I was wondering if I could have vacation time close to the end of the month of Kagomes pregnancy?"
"Of course. How many weeks?"
"Just two. Arigato again Sesshomaru." As Inuyahsa stood up to bow to Sesshomaru, his back started hurting again. He fell back into the chair.
"Inuyasha is there something wrong?"
"Its nothing. I just hurt my back that's all."
"Why don't you just take the day off. I have extra employees here anyways."
"Arigato."
(InuLover- sorry if I made Sesshomaru to OOC but its my fic! I will do whatever the hell I wanna! Tee hee!)
Inuyasha walked out of Sesshs office to , once again, be greeted by Naraku.
"What did you need to talk to the boss about?"
"None of you damn business"
"Touchy, Touchy."
Naraku watched Inuyasha leave to go to the elevator.
'Nows my chance to get him back for all those times in high school.'
